DRAGONS Project Kicks Off in Coventry: A New Horizon for Biodiversity Engagement
Not just to know that biodiversity is declining, but to feel it, act on it and carry that commitment into the boardroom, the classroom and the ballot box.
We consist of dedicated individuals with a diverse background ranging from ecology through economy and policy to geography. We focus on biodiversity and the well-being of society, sufficient energy use, socio-economic transition and transformation as well as behaviour change. For this we carry out research, we measure impacts, we provide advice and we do projects. We involve multiple stakeholders, we build dialogues and bridges. We bring experience and networks from both Western and Eastern Europe.
